I'm desperate! Yesterday I was out and about in Honolulu and I saw a guy riding a highly customized Bonneville. Some things I liked, but some not so much...like the Hello Kitty sticker he had on his fairing windshield.

Anyway...he had the greatest seat on this thing. I've never seen one like it. It was a cafe racer style seat. The spoiler wasn't huge, but it was about 6-8 inches in length and about 4 inches high. The vertical edge (where the cowl meets the cushion) followed the contour of the bottom edge of the seat towards the rider about 2-3 inches. The seat cushion itself was about two inches thick, and while I would call it a single seat, it had enough room for a passenger. It had a very nice profile...no big bulky edges...very sleek. Similar to the Corbin gunfighter, but smaller.

I actually stopped and asked him where he got it. But he had a pretty strong accent and he was talking through his full face helmet, so I didn't want to stand and talk all day. He did tell me he bought it on ebay and it was for a Yamaha Street Tracker. He then customized it to fit his bike. I've tried many searches on the internet but with no luck. Does anyone have any idea what kind of seat this might be?

Thanks

You'll see this post on the twin talk board too.

THANKS!!!!

That could be it...at least it's very close. The cafe fenders at Omar's are very nice. Has anyone tried to rig this to fit a Bonnie? Would the Bonneville be considered narrow or wide? :-D

I would say measure the distance between the inside of the forks.... Omar's give you the width specs for each one. You will have to get clamps that hold the fender to the fork bodies. They'll work for any 18" wheel, some for 19".

Too bad that I had to go down to 17" - but the selection of rubber is better there! :-)

I read your message days ago and could not remember were I'd seen similar seats. Today it came to me in a vision or something like that. Anyway check out this link. The seat you are descibing sounds a lot like a hond cb 750/900 from the early 80's - particulaly the blended in spoiler part. Check out these photos on the site and see if they may match what your looking for - then go ebay shopping.

Happy Holidays! JCW :-)
